My Wife's Sweet and Sour Pork is better than any Chinese restaurant in Hawaii.  Fresh Pork, Vegetables, light breading and sauce make this one of my fave home cooked meals.  You can really taste the Pork which is nice.

My Wife's homemade Sweet and Sour Pork is so much lighter, fresher and tastier than any Chinese restaurant I have been to in Hawaii.  You can really taste the Pork and the Vegetables pop with flavor and a bit of crisp.  Love this!

We don't eat much Chinese Food but when my Wife makes her version of Sweet and Sour Pork, the entire family loves it.  This is so much better than a Chinese Restaurant.  You can taste the flavor of the Pork and it is not dried out.  The sauce is light and does not overpower the Pork or Vegetables.  Yummy!

GANESHA CAFE - BALI

We asked our driver from our Bali Villa for a lunch recommendation on the beach.  Without hesitation he headed for Ganesha Cafe and boy were we happy he did.  This place is great.  So good in fact we returned for dinner a few days later.  We were treated like family here with the staff providing excellent service with bright smiles.  After we were seated at a table on the beach, the waiter asked us to follow him to the front where we could pick out our seafood.  The large tanks were filled with Lobster, Crab, Prawns, Clams, Mussels and Oysters.  Against the wall there were large tanks filled with live fish.  We took a fish recommended by the attendant and then added some large Shrimp.  What I loved about this place is that you can choose the preparation.  Grilled with Garlic or Balinese Sauce or Fried with Sweet & Sour Sauce, Chili Sauce, Margarine Sauce, Flour or Black Pepper Sauce.  We did Black Pepper Fish and Sweet and Sour Shrimp.   Oh my goodness, the Sweet and Sour Shrimp was the best in our lives.  Perfectly cooked with a very light crispy coating and a delicate sauce.  Wow...I thought about this every single day and am so happy we went back to have it again.  This was a great meal in a beautiful location.  Was worth sitting in the hot sun!

My Wife has perfected a Sweet and Sour Pork recipe that is hands down the best I have ever eaten. Ten times better than a Chinese restaurant.  She cooks the Pork to perfection and it is never hard or tasteless.  You can really taste the Pork flavor because the breading is so light.  This is one of my favorite home cooked meals.

I love Sweet and Sour Pork but most Chinese restaurants serve it with a heavy sauce and thick batter that masks the flavor of the Pork.  Many times it is rock hard too.  My Wife's version is lighter and you can really taste the flavor of the Pork.  He sauce is lightly sweet and she does not over coat the Pork and Vegetables.

I love Sweet and Sour Pork but the problem is most Chinese restaurants in Hawaii don't make it that well or they let it sit out too long.  I also hate when there is more breading than pork and when the pork is hard as a rock. Also don't like soggy vegetables and a sauce that is too sweet.  Thankfully my Wife learned to make Sweet and Sour Pork and her recipe totally rocks.  The pork is very lightly coated in corn starch after marinating overnight in Soy Sauce, Egg Whites, Green Onion and Spices.  She makes a sauce out of Sugar, Water, Apple Cider Vinegar and Soy Sauce.  She keeps the vegetables a bit crunchy too.  This version is light, fresh and you can really taste the pork.  Love it!

My Wife makes the best Sweet and Sour Pork.  The Pork is plump, moist and flavorful unlike the dry heavily breaded stuff you get in most Chinese restaurants.  She uses fresh Hawaii pineapple and makes a slightly sweet sauce that is not heavy.  Its like a more healthy version of Sweet and Sour Pork and I absolutely love it.

I love Sweet and Sour Pork and have been craving it lately.  My Wife cooked up this version and it was the first time ever that she attempted to make Sweet and Sour Pork.  I am not kidding, it was the best Sweet and Sour Pork I have ever tasted.  She marinated the Pork and it was super moist and flavorful with a very light breading.  Most Sweet and Sour Pork is tough and mostly batter.  This was meaty, light and full of flavor.  The vegetables and sauce were perfect and not too sweet.  This is a new Santos family favorite and one of my favorite dishes.

After a long work week decided to order some Chinese food and have it delivered by Bite Squad.  Went to the Bite Squad app and ordered from Little Village Noodle House in minutes.  Set the time I wanted the food to arrive and it was at my house on time and hot.  Was able to track the delivery on my phone so the Bite Squad experience was excellent.  Food was good too.  We Started with the Mu-Shu Pork Rolls ($8) served with tortillas and Plum Sauce.  Served with three flour tortillas so you can make burritos.  My Wife really liked these. The Hot and Sour Soup ($10.75) came with a nice portion for 3 or 4 people.  The soup was hot and was good.  Just thought something was missing to make this a really great soup.  The Sweet and Sour Pork ($12.20) was really good.  I liked the large pieces of Onion and Pineapple along with the Pork.  The Black Pepper Beef ($11.75) was delicious and served with lots of onions.  Really liked the peppery flavor.  The Szechwan Spicy Chicken looked a bit dry but had nice flavor and a bit of heat.  Would be great though if this dish had a bit of sauce.  All in all our Chinese take-out was great.  Watched a movie on Pay per View and enjoyed a quiet evening at home with the Wife.  Definitely will do this dinner at home again with Bite Squad delivery.
